At the urgent request of the many friends
of the Grand Army boys, Ladies' Relief
Corps, and Black Eagle Drum Corps, who
were unable to attend, it was decided to
continue the supper and entertainment
this evening, when it is hoped all may be
enabled to enjoy this charming occasion.
Aside from the first class bean supper,
the fan drill by the children is fully worth
the price of admission. The singing and
dancing by Messrs Nesbitt and Myles, two
members Of the Black Eagle Drum Corps,
was simply immense and a hearty encore
was given. Misses Weitzel and Roberts, of
the Sixth ward school, deserve great credit
for the manner in which the children went
through the fan drill, ably led by Miss Lii
lie Rust. Mr.. Tug Daley sang Drifting
With the Tide" with spirit and feeling
and in fine voice, accompanied by Miss
Lizzie BickertOn. The recitation 10y Miss
McCurdy was warmly received, and she
has agreed to take part this evening.
The entertainment this evening will be
crowded, as the programme will be replete
with many new and interesting parts.
Everybody is invited.

For twenty years at the Arsenal sun
rise gun greeted the god of day as his
disk appeared above the eastern hills, and
saluted him as he disappeared behind
the western heights. The people of the
three cities rather liked it. But last
March an order came to cease firing
these guns. Now it is seen among the
recommendations which the secretary
of war makes to congress- that appro>
priations be made for the purchase of
sufficient powder to resume these guns.
The history of the salutes dates back to
July. 1867. when Gen. Grant by a
general order, provided for firing sun
set and sunrise gun wherever troops
of the United States were stations
ed. The exigencies of the war had
demanded the manufacture of vast
quantities of powder for which mil
lions of dollars had been paid The stu
pendOus amount of this powder can be
imagined from the fact that the morning
and evening gun, fired at every military
post throughout the United States for
twenty years, has only this year exhaust
ed the supply left over from the war
Last March the sunrise and sunset sig
nails had to be abandoned at all military
posts except West Point and the schools
of instruction at Fortress Monroe and
Fort Leavenworth. To fire this gun

surprise expressed that he should have

for tariff reform just at this time, re-

Many Of the politicians of both parties
are amazed that just after an election

he should have the courage to force this
issue to the front in the way that he has
done. They cannot understand why he
could not let well enough alone. His
prospects for reelection, they say. were
bright; why endanger them by such a
departure as this from safe, non-com'
initial policy on this question?
We fear that the politicians will never

IOWA LIQUOR PRODUCERS FIND THE
FIGHT TOO HOT.

The Courts and the Prohibitionists Seem
to Have All the Points in the Game
That Federal Decision Did the Business
and the Breweries and Distilleries Must
Emigrate to HospitabIe Chimes.
. DUBUQUE. Ia, Dec 15-The Prohibitionists
of Iowa scored great victory Wednesday,
a victory that foreshadows the closing up of
all the saloons and breweries in the state at
an early date. Judge Shiras, of the United
States district court, now in session here, in
pursuance to instructions received from
Judge Brewer, remanded to the state courts
all the liquor injunction cases before him,
comprising two from Chickasaw county, eight
from Clayton county, and four from Du-
buque county. Some of these cases are to
close saloons in breweries. The defense
argued that the plaintiffs aimed at the de-
struction of the hreweries, and not the sa-
looms in them. Claims of that character, the
court intimated, are no longer valid, since
the federal court has decided that a brewery
may be closed by an injunction as readily as
a saloon
The liquor men and cold water apostles fully
appreciate the widespread effect of Judge
Brewers order 1t is the hardest blow struck
at the beer and whisky traffic since the pass
age Of the Clark law The brewers hoped,
by sharp practice in the courts, to practically
nullify the law for many years. A recent
ruling of the federal district court gave them
hope that each injunction would be tried in
said court separately, and, in the language OF
one of their lawyers, that the "last case on
the docket would not be tried until the be.
ginning of the twentieth century, They
now fully realize their mistake The import
of Judge Brewers order is that hereafter al
cases appealed from the state to the United
States court will be promptly remanded.
This renders impossible the indefinite post
ponement and delay of cases by appeal, ant
will result in bringing to speedy test tn,
virtue of the Iowa prohibitory law and thu
power of the sentiment which sustains it
This also cuts away from the brewers al
prospects of securing delays, through which
public opinion might be shaped in their ia
vor. 1t will hasten the settlement Of the is
sue in the state courts. Capt Adams, tn
Prohibition attorney in this city, says he vii
apply for permanent inJunctions against tn
brewers at the January term.
When the cases reach the state courts the
will be tried promptly and by judges who

New YORK. Dec. - The board of trade
and transportation Wednesday adopted for
presentation to the national boari of trade
at Washington in January, recommended
tons as follows: That the Internal revenue
system of taxes should he reduced, but not
abolished; that our steamship interests should
be encouraged by fair payments for
postal service; that a national anti
adulteration law should be passed; that
the tax on alcohol used in arts
and manufactures should be abolished; that
the usefulness of the postoffee department
should be extended in the direction of tele-
graphic communication; that sufficient of
the national debt should be refunded to fur
nish an adequate permanent basis for the
national banking system; that the Lowell
bankrupt bill should be enacted. The resolu-
ton concerning postal telegraphy was adopt
ed, with the understanding that the topic
was recommended for consideration only.
